I've realized there's more magic around the global options, because
currently the --format option depends on the subcommand definition thus
it can't be a static text like you do with the definition of
HELPINFO_GLOBAL_OPTIONS_HEADER.

There's a special keyword that gets replaced, the verbose/quite options
don't need that so it's just the plain textual definition/description.
As this is a simple fixup
s/HELPINFO_GLOBAL_OPTIONS_HEADER/HELPINFO_INSERT_GLOBALS/, hold on with
resending I might find more things or fix it myself.
As v2 is in progress I shall fix this.
Thanks, Anand
